our mission:

building Ohio’s Communities

The Ohio Community Development Corporation Association (OCDCA) is a statewide membership organization of nearly 300 locally-based rural and urban nonprofits that work to rebuild neighborhoods through initiatives such as economic development, affordable housing, financial education, and local food access.

Throughout our history, the Ohio CDC Association has been listening to members and responding with resources to help build capacity, advocate, and develop public policy toward a mission of fostering socially and economically healthy communities. We will continue to collaborate with diverse partners at the national, regional, state and local levels to bring an even higher level of service to our members, so they can fulfill their vision of improving life opportunities for every resident.
